So very sorry for the Tucker family for the tragic loss of Kirk. He spent many hours at our house as Art’s best friend. Once, even busting through the ceiling as he & Art explored the attic. My Dad was watching TV below. A family favorite memory. Kirk was a family favorite and we always enjoyed being around him. I hope all the good and wonderful memories will give you comfort in the coming days. You are in my thoughts.

Sending loving thoughts and prayers to the family during this time of mourning.
He had so many happy stories of you all.
Kirk was an intelligent, fascinating man to talk to. A joy to be around. He was a beautiful lover of life, of the moon and the stars, of peace and love. He will shine on in my heart always.

Our deepest condolences to Kirk’s family at this time of sorrow. We have many fond memories of Kirk being in the Schroeder household while among members of our family. His infectous smile seemed to symbolize his joy at being in our midst and for those brief moments was truly part of our family. His joy and laughter shall always remain part of our joy. It is with deep faith and trust that we will again share that happiness with him in that eternal heavenly home. It is our prayer that you find comfort in that hope that there will once again be that joy of togetherness in the eternal place of happiness.
